A Transformational Space

by Leisa on November 19, 2008

Honestly, I am so blessed. This is turning out to be the most incredible week.  It wasn’t that the other retreats weren’t special – because they were – this is just turning out to be more intense, more connected, more uplifting and more soulful.

In my lectures when I worked at Hippocrates Health Centre, I always talked to people how when they are juice fasting and detoxing, that quite often emotions and feelings will come up to

Flies, Snakes and Other WA Surprises!

by Leisa on October 23, 2008

Oh my goodness, the things that WA welcomes us with! After having a cool breeze coming in off the ocean for a couple of days, the wind changed and became a very warm current from the opposite direction – bringing with it what is apparently a once yearly event – a fly plague! We started out
